33 Weeks

33 weeks, friends. We are down to the single digits! Highlights of this season include...

Fun baby showers

Major kicking, squirming, and twisting around

Making final decisions regarding our birth plan

Lots of hiccups

Getting VERY excited to meet our little buddy in a few short weeks

Onesies. What is it with those things? They are adorable. I find myself petting and squeezing and hugging little onesies just thinking about how fun it will be to have a little guy wearing one of them.

Not so fun things include...

Sleepiness. Like, we are talking big time tiredness. I am usually a high maintenance person when it comes to sleep. I regularly require 8 hours of sleep...I regularly prefer 9. I am little embarrassed to admit how many hours Pregnant Liza has been requiring lately... Yikes.

Heartburn. Holy smokes. Shots of baking soda and Tums are my best friend - at least they take the edge off. I have, however, discovered that a good bowl of ice cream before bed leads to the greatest, uninterrupted, heartburn-free sleep ever. Lesson learned. Tough life. I GUESS I will have to make a habit of ice cream before bed....for the baby.

The uncomfortable season has begun...there just ain't enough room in my midsection for the both of us. He is really hogging the space.

Shortness of breath...sometimes when I am just sitting still. Ask my boss how I am handling the stairs in our office. You'd think I just climbed a mountain or something... Singing and leading worship for hours on end is getting increasingly ridiculous.

I would like to point out that the third trimester is still much, much better than the first. I will take sleepiness and heart burn over vomited every day ANY day. Praise the Lord for 33 weeks of a happy and healthy pregnancy!
